High-fraction brookite films from amorphous precursors [PDF]
AbstractStructure-specific synthesis processes are of key importance to the growth of polymorphic functional compounds such as TiO2, where material properties strongly depend on structure as well as chemistry. The robust growth of the brookite polymorph of TiO2, a promising photocatalyst, has been difficult in both powder and thin-film forms due to the

TiO2 exist in three polymorphs known as anatase, rutile and brookite. Amongst these polymorphs, brookite are less reported and mostly produced as a by-product.

Brookite versus anatase TiO2 photocatalysts: Phase transformations and photocatalytic activities [PDF]
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles consisting of pure anatase, anatase-rich, brookite-rich, and pure brookite modifications were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission-scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption.

Application of reverse micelle sol-gel synthesis for bulk doping and heteroatoms Surface Enrichment in Mo-Doped TiO 2 nanoparticles [PDF]
TiO 2 nanoparticles containing 0.0, 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0 wt.% Mo were prepared by a reverse micelle template assisted sol-gel method allowing the dispersion of Mo atoms in the TiO 2 matrix.

Catalytic coatings on steel for low-temperature propane prereforming to solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) application [PDF]
Catalyst layers (4–20 lm) of rhodium (1 wt%) supported on alumina, titania, and ceria–zirconia (Ce0.5Zr0.5O2) were coated on stainless-steel corrugated sheets by dip-coating in very stable colloidal dispersions of nanoparticles in water.

A polarizable interatomic force field for TiO$_2$ parameterized using density functional theory [PDF]
We report a classical interatomic force field for TiO$_2$, which has been parameterized using density functional theory forces, energies, and stresses in the rutile crystal structure.

Synthesis of Brookite Titanium Dioxide Nanorods using Salt-Assisted Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis Process and their Photocatalytic Activities [PDF]
Here, We present the first-ever synthetic method based on the salt-assisted ultrasonic spray pyrolysis process of pure brookite TiO2 nanorods. H2TiF6 and NaNO3 were used as a titanium precursor and salt for the synthesis, the NaNO3 contributes to the ...

Brookite, a sometimes under evaluated TiO2 polymorph
Brookite positively affects solar photocatalysis, electrocatalysis and electrochemical applications by stabilizing photogenerated e−/h+ pairs. Brookite-related heterojunctions, cus Ti atoms, surface acidity and redox behaviour are crucial aspects.
